Diane, thank you so much! I adore Matilda – she is so special! And I agree I think whatever she wears – it suits her! What an amazing doll she is!

No, I am yet to learn how to make doll shoes (but I am determined I will learn the skill!!). I tried to make Tudor shoes for Matilda to match her Tudor outfit but they ended up in a bin and she is wearing the same red shoes as on these photos underneath the Tudor dress! I buy shoes for Matilda and Co here: http://stores.ebay.com/debsadorables/ . For her and Kidz’n’Cats dolls I have bought an assortment of shoes for Sasha dolls and Magic Attic dolls (quite honestly, I can’t remember which are which, some are a bit roomy, but the other are a perfect fit). We have a lot of Carpatina shoes and they fit Matilda perfectly, too.

I love these dolls although I have yet to get Amelia. I am anxiously awaiting Lydia this fall.

Your dresses are so lovely. Thank you for sharing how you make your patterns. I may try it one of these days.

Do you make the shoes or do you have a source for them? My poor Matilda goes barefoot most of the time.

Sandra, thank you so much. I am so glad that my photos help to show her true self! Matilda is even better in person, I am totally in love with her!! And wait until they release Lydia in August. She is absolutely gorgeous, too – I can’t wait to get her!!

By the way, these girls make wonderful friends with Kidz dolls.
